4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Genoud <richard.genoud@xxxxxxxxx> commit 89d8232411a85b9a6b12fd5da4d07d8a138a8e0c upstream. If we don't disable the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx, the DMA buffer continues to send data until it is emptied. This cause problems with the flow control (CTS is asserted and data are still sent). So, disabling the transmitter in atmel_stop_tx is a sane thing to do.
